The way I see it, ole George was just doing what any good FReeper would do. Anybody who is “surprised” by this downgrade certainly hasn’t been hanging around FR.

Soros is legion -a man of many demons. He is the son of satan and many demons.

I would not post this if it were not true.This has been shown to me many times at Eucharistic Adoration

Except no one around here would get a call at 3:00 AM from a well-placed source at S&P informing him of their pending downgrade. Short the market and raise enough money in one day to fund most democratic candidates for an entire election. That is how I see it.
